A Survey on Avian Pneumovirus (APV) infection in Italy is reported. Nine turkey meat farms and 6 broiler farms, sited in Verona Province, were sampled for virus isolation on tracheal organ coltures and ELISA serological assay. APV infection was found to be widely spread in the area sampled. APV was isolated in 19 day old turkeys, and in 34, 42 and 48 day old broilers. All turkeys of more than 4 weeks old were APV positive to ELISA. The protocol for APV isolation was shown to be effective. Further developments are discussed.

Abstract
A Survey on Avian Pneumovirus (APV) infection in Italy is reported. Nine turkey meat farms and 6 broiler farms, sited in Verona Province, were sampled for virus isolation on tracheal organ coltures and ELISA serological assay. APV infection was found to be widely spread in the area sampled. APV was isolated in 19 day old turkeys, and in 34, 42 and 48 day old broilers. All turkeys of more than 4 weeks old were APV positive to ELISA. The protocol for APV isolation was shown to be effective. Further developments are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
